Earth Day

Texas Tech recognized as green university by review The Princeton Review has designated Texas Tech as one of 332 green universities in the U.S. and Canada this year.

In the fifth edition of The Princeton Review’s Guide to 332 Green Colleges, Tech was recognized for its 9.2 million square feet of environmentally friendly facilities, designated bike lanes, 10 electric vehicles and other achievements, according to a Tech news release.

“We have worked hard to ensure we are more sustainable than ever before,” president M. Duane Nellis said in the release. “Texas Tech is committed to providing a green campus for our current students, faculty and staff as well as for future generations to enjoy this beautiful university.”

Recognized schools were chosen through a survey conducted by The Princeton Review, according to the release. Administrators at four-year colleges answered questions concerning infrastructure, courses, career preparation and campus activities. ➤➤acunningham@dailytoreador.com

Petroleum engineering to receive campus artwork Just outside the new Terry Fuller Petroleum Engineering Research Building, the latest piece of art on Texas Tech campus will be installed.

The 20 foot tall steel sculpture, titled “Fountain,” was created by artist Juanjo Novella and weighs 11 tons, according to a Tech news release.

“I was inspired by how petroleum and water move together and wanted to integrate that into the piece,” Novella said in the release. “The sculpture depicts the movement and flow of water as if from a spring, which is where the name originates.”

In 1998, the TTU System’s Public Art Program was approved, according to the release. Across the four campuses, 98 public artworks have been created and installed as a result of the program.

The $193,000 piece was Novella’s first commission in the U.S., according to the release. ➤➤acunningham@dailytoreador.com

Annual celebration fosters environmental issues on campus

By JENNIFER ROMERO Staff Writer

Earth Day was established on April 22, 1970 and has since become an annual day for environmental celebration and activism.

Adam Rome, the author of “The Genius of Earth Day,” said Earth Day is unique because it was unexpected.

“Long before 1970 there were many different strands of environmental activism,” he said. “There really was no environmental movement, no sense that all those different strands in fact had something in common. No one used the phrase ‘environmental movement’ that I can find.”

The book focuses on the history of Earth Day, and Rome said although many people celebrate the day, few know its history.

Earth Day was established as a result of various efforts of different groups, according to the book, and the five most important groups were the liberal Democrats, scientists, middle-class women, young critics of American institutions and conservationists.

“Earth Day was made possible by tens of thousands of local people,” Rome said.

“The vast majority of Earth Day

events were organized by people working autonomously across the country.”

In the 1960s, various individuals from different groups began to highlight the need for quality of life, according to the book, and many began to realize beauty and resources within the environment could not be replaced by money.

The former Senator from Wisconsin Gaylord Nelson succeeded in establishing the first Earth Day in 1970, Rome said,and the oil spill in Santa Barbara, Calif.,

Next year’s Masked Rider revealed

The Texas Tech Student Government Association named its senator of the year for the 49th session of legislation.

SGA current President Luke Cotton said JoCORCORAN seph Corcoran, a health organization management and healthcare administration graduate student from Boerne, was named senator of the year for his continuous effort to help the Tech student body.

“His diligence on being in this day in and day out and asking hard questions to our executive team really made him stand out,” he said.

Cotton said one of the projects Corcoran took part in was improving the wireless internet in the Tech library.

“The amount of bandwidth has been increased by one of the things he went out there to do,” he said. “He contacted the library, contacted IT services and brought them together to let them know, ‘hey this is one of the students’ main issues, the Internet is spotty in the library.’”

SGA current Internal Vice President Jill Berger said Corcoran was part of two of the most important committees in SGA. “He loves this university and it shows through all the work he’s done this past year,” she said. “He was the vice chair for both the rules and administration committee and the budget and finance committee, which are two of the most prestigious committees and the committees that have the most work.”

Berger said Corcoran also uses his experience in SGA to help other SGA members.

“He’s been in the office hours and hours a week,” she said. “He’s always there for younger senators to learn, and he’s taken a lot of senators under his wing.”

gained him the support he had not received in lobbying f o r other environmental issues.

The original Earth Day involved many universities and communities across the country, Rome said, and the events often lasted longer than just the one day.

“Earth Day wasn’t just a national demonstration,” he said. “It really was an educational event. Many of the discussions were profound. I think that educational component was critical. People were ask-

ing really hard environmental questions that hadn’t been asked before.”

Prior to the 1960s, environmental issues such as pollution were considered local problems, according to the book, and this view began to change as the groups who helped make Earth Day possible were heard on a national scale.

While Earth Day proceeded a formal environmental movement, Rome said it helped fuel decades of later environmental policies.

“Out of Earth Day comes national lobbying organizations and many state organizations,” he said. “Environmental education had already begun to be talked about, but it got a tremendous boost from Earth Day. Many of the organizers went on to become pioneering environmental educators in new environmental studies programs in universities.”

Many events are still hosted on Earth Day, and the Earth Day Network has information on its website about various ways individuals can volunteer.

Raquel Padilla, the coordinator for Keep Lubbock Beautiful, said she has organized clean-up and beautification events almost every weekend of April this year.

With the exchange of a hat, cape and mask, the 2014-15 Masked Rider has began her reign.

Mackenzie White, a junior agricultural and applied economics major from Marble Falls, was officially named the 53rd Masked Rider during the Transfer of Reins ceremony Friday in the McKenzieMerket Alumni Center. She is replacing outgoing rider Corey Waggoner, a senior animal science major from New Deal.

“It’s such an honor,” White said.

“I feel so privileged to be in this position, and I’m excited for the next year to come.”

White received the news more than two weeks ago that she would be the next Masked Rider, she said. However, she had to keep it a secret and began working with the horse, Fearless Champion, the same day.

Texas immigration levels rise

By KAITLIN BAIN Staff Writer

Opportunity, family and decreased violence are all things the United States can offer immigrants from other countries.

Because of these opportunities and the decreased restrictions, the state of Texas and its residents are experiencing an increase in the number of undocumented immigrants, according to an Associated Press article.

Karin Senft, international student counselor, said Texas Tech is not likely to see an increase in the number of students because of this increase.

“Our office will not be impacted by the increased number of undocumented aliens,” she said.

According to the article, these people are often from Honduras, El Salvador and Guatemala.

They are led across the Rio Grande river by guides who take them to “stash

Corcoran said the SGA members he worked with this year pushed him to be a better SGA senator.

“I met some real great people that really inspire you and push

houses” across the border until travel arrangements to other parts of the U.S. can be made, according to the article.

Benjamin Powell, professor in the Rawls College of Business, carried out a study that leads him to believe a large part of the problem is the lack of visas given for highly skilled workers.

“The U.S. government interferes with the market for foreign laborers by restricting the number and mix of immigrants,” he said in the survey he and Zachary Gochenour, research assistant of economics at George Mason University, conducted. “This has created a mismatch between the demand for foreign workers from U.S. businesses and their supply, directly leading to the illegal immigration situation we confront today.”

According to U.S. Customs and Border Protection, there have been 420,789 apprehensions of immigrants in the last fiscal year, which is a 16 percent increase from the previous year.

The increase, Michael Fisher, border patrol chief, said in the article, is largely due to the increased numbers of people coming from Central America added to the already stagnant number of those coming from Mexico.

“Many people who would apply for visas do not bother to apply because they believe their chances of receiving a visa are low or the cap has already been reached,” he said. “Demand perpetually exceeds the cap for visas.”

While the demand exceeds the cap, there are still many jobs that would hire immigrant workers, he said.

According to the Western Growers Association, it is estimated that 80,000 acres of fruit and vegetable farmland has been moved out of California because of the shortage of available labor.

The numbers of apprehensions are growing, according to the article, but only because of increased forces being used to catch those who are crossing the border.

“We have responded by sending additional manpower and technology to South Texas,” Fisher said in the article, “and as deployed repurposed surveillance technology.”

Powell said there is an increased demand for visas during economic expansions but they are also needed during a recession.

There are currently 30,000 workers in the U.S. under the visa program but that is actually only a small fraction of the whole agricultural labor force.

“A better method of estimating demand is to simply ask employers how many laborers they need directly,” he said. “Average wages have risen considerably, forcing many growers to abandon their crops. Farm crews have been operating at less than 70 percent of their sizes before border enforcement toughened drastically.

This plan would be an improvement of the current system.”

you to be a better representative and a better representative of the senate,” he said. “At the end of the day, that is what student government is all about.”

Corcoran said he collaboratively worked with other SGA members to recruit new qualified SGA senators as part of his work in the rules and adminis-

tration committee.

“This year we went out to student organizations and recruited for senate,” he said. “As a committee, we really did our due diligence this year trying to get the most qualified people in student government.”

Corcoran said he thinks current SGA senators and future

SGA senators do not need to be assigned a chair in a committee to be a leader.

“You don’t have to be given a leadership position to be a leader,” he said. “The students at Texas Tech, they need advocates, and they need advocates in administration.”

everything I had, but Mackenzie will do great this year.”

Waggoner’s service this year encourages White to do her best, she said.

Rhode, who Waggoner described as a mother figure to him, said the transition is bittersweet because of Waggoner’s success.

“He never lost his enthusiasm,” she said. “All year long, he had a commitment and a responsibility, and he was always excited about being the Masked Rider. I don’t think he ever let down for a minute.”

Even as her boss this year, White said Waggoner has been like a big brother to her.

She said she is excited to meet fans all over the state during her time as the Masked Rider.

“I’m looking forward to meeting the fans,” she said. “I can’t wait to meet young people and encourage them to come to Texas Tech, especially kids who are considering Tech as a school and kids of alumni who love Tech.”

Because this upcoming year will be the 60th anniversary of the Masked Rider, Rhode said she is excited to work with White to reach even more fans.

For Waggoner, he said he wants White to stay focused and enjoy the ride, he said.

“We have the greatest fans around,” he said, “and she only gets one year with them. Stay driven, don’t give up and represent our university well.”

Stephanie Rhode, the Masked Rider advisory committee chair, said the committee looked for someone with a strong equestrian background who would best embody Texas Tech.

“You have to have someone who realizes they are the living, breathing symbol of Texas Tech University,” she said. “You’re looking for someone who can step into that role. She’s not Mackenzie anymore.

She’s Texas Tech University.”

White, who served as a Masked Rider assistant this year, should be prepared for the hectic schedule she will face, Rhode said.

During Waggoner’s time as the Masked Rider, he made 257 appearances and only turned down five, Rhode said, because it was impossible for him to be in two places at once.

“I think it’s going to be busier for Mackenzie than for any other Masked Rider,” she said. “Now that people have a taste of the Masked Rider coming into town, they’re going to want Mackenzie to come back.”

No other Masked Rider has logged as many appearances as Waggoner did this year, she said.

As his year as the Masked Rider ends, Waggoner said he has no regrets.

Texas Tech students to raise support for veterans in 5K event This week, the Texas Tech Army ROTC Department will host its second 5K race to benefit the South Plains Honor Flight Chapter.

Captain Missy McNeill, organizer of the ROTC department 5K, encouraged students to show support and participate in the event.

“The purpose of this event is to raise awareness about our local veterans that we have in the community of Lubbock and to raise money for our local South Plains Honor Flight Chapter,” he said.

Students can register on active.com or on the day of the race at the C1 parking lot April 26, McNeil said.

“The race will start at 9 o’clock in the morning, but we will have opening ceremonies from a World War II veteran at 8:30,” he said.

The Honor Flight Chapter provides all-expense-paid trips to Washington D.C. to veterans so they can see the monuments that have been erected for them, McNeill said.

“So many veterans have never seen the monuments erected for them so this chapter provides guardians to look over them, and everything is based on donations,” he said.

He encourages Tech students to get involved in this event to support the people who have defended their freedom. Also to support the people that have allowed them to have the privileges they have today, McNeil said.

According to the ROTC 5K news release, participants are allowed to walk, run or pull someone.

Lou Ortiz, president of the South Plains Honor Flight Chapter, also played a critical role in organizing the event.

“Our goal is to raise funds to send World War II veterans and other veterans to Washington D.C. to visit their memorials,” Ortiz said.

The mission is exclusively to honor the service and sacrifice of the veterans of all wars, including the latest wars in the Middle East, Ortiz said.

“Most significantly, we focus on World War II veterans because their generation is getting older and we want to offer them the chance to take this trip before they pass,” Ortiz said. “There is a great opportunity in the 5K to come out and show support. Even if they don’t run, we would love for students to come out and support their local heroes.” ➤➤tmabry@dailytoreador.com

Study finds caffeinated drinks may help hydrate like water

FOOTBALL FUN

RIAN ANDERSON, A junior English major from Houston, dodges defenders during a pickup game of football Monday outside the Robert H. Ewalt Student Recreation Center.

Lingering drought affects some schools AMARILLO (AP) — Some Texas Panhandle school districts have dug wells or installed artificial turf to keep athletic fields and campuses green in response to water prices rising since the 2011 drought.

Les Hoyt, chief financial officer of the Amarillo Independent School District, says school officials began looking for ways to conserve water about 10 years ago.

The district back then used about 500 million gallons annually.

Amarillo ISD installed watering systems that monitor the

weather and adjust for conditions, took on landscaping projects that don’t need irrigation and added artificial turf athletic fields at all of its high schools, saving several million gallons of water a year on each campus, Hoyt said.

Amarillo ISD’s water use was down to about 356 million gallons last year, but the cost for that water rose, the Amarillo GlobeNews reported Sunday.

During fiscal 2010 and 2011, Amarillo ISD was on a flat rate for irrigation — $2.90 per thousand gallons in fiscal 2010 — rather

than the city’s progressive rate that charges customers higher rates for using more water. Four years later, the district’s irrigation rate reached a rate of $4.65 per thousand gallons.

“Water rates have affected us dramatically from a budgetary standpoint,” Hoyt said. “We know there will be an escalation every year in the rate, so we take that into consideration when we’re building the budget.”

Other area districts are also dealing with drought conditions and rising water costs.

With the heat of summer coming, a new study by the University of Birmingham School of Exercise and Sport Sciences, United Kingdom showed when it comes to keeping hydrated, caffeinated beverages such as coffee may actually hydrate similarly to water.

Joan Harris, a registered nurse, said the new study is something she would not have expected, and she has always believed caffeinated beverages actually harm those suffering from dehydration.

“I always just tell people water is best,” she said. “It’s kind of shocking to me that coffee or other caffeinated drinks actually help you out when you have lost a lot of hydration. I always thought the caffeine sort of prevented the rehydrating process, or at least wasn’t near as good as water or something like Gatorade.”

This summer, high temperatures and drought conditions are likely to resume, according to the National Weather Center’s Climate Prediction Center’s website.

Harris said even spending half an hour outside in the heat can lead to someone becoming dehydrated.

“Even spending half an hour

out in 100-degree weather can make you dehydrated,” she said.

“You’re out there sweating out your body’s water supply, and if you aren’t refilling it, that’s when you get a problem.”

The study conducted by the university was created to study the overall effects of coffee and other caffeinated beverages like tea when it comes to maintaining the balance of fluids inside the body, according to the study document.

The experiments performed were based on early research, which presented caffeine as a mild diuretic, a substance that increases the amount of urine produced by those who consume it, according to the study.

However, the new study observed coffee as having no negative effects that cause dehydration, despite the caffeine present in the beverage.

Overall, it was found in adults with moderate coffee consumption, there was no significant difference across a wide range of hydration indicators compared to the consumption of equal amounts of water, according to the study.

Monica Ivey, also a registered nurse, said she has worked several cases involving dehydration and said the new study just means people now have

more options when it comes to keeping hydrated.

“I have worked in the public school system for many years, and you always see young people out enjoying the weather and spending time outside,” she said.

“It’s good to know that those who enjoy coffee can now choose to have a cup or two to avoid at least becoming mildly dehydrated.”

Harris said although coffee will not make you dehydrated, it is always best to keep a bottle of water handy when planning any activity outside in the daytime.

“If you’re going hiking or running or even just taking a walk, it’s always a good idea to keep a bottle of water with you,” she said. “Once you start losing some of that water in your body, it needs to be replaced with something, even if it is a cup of coffee.”

Harris said students planning to participate in outdoor activities this summer need to be aware of some of the early signs of dehydration.

“There are several signs that someone may be dehydrated,” she said. “Symptoms may include dizziness or weakness. Just because you aren’t thirsty doesn’t mean you don’t need to drink some water. If you’re out sweating, always drink water or other beverages to refuel that water supply.” ➤➤kmcdermett@dailytoreador.com

Leigh Ann Tuohy to speak at Tech on foster care awareness

By TRAVIS MABRY Staff Writer

As foster care awareness month approaches, Leigh Ann Tuohy will speak in the United Spirit Arena on Saturday to share her story.

Sandi Turner, director and founder of Sondra’s Song, said the organization she works with helps foster children who are older than 18 or have already graduated from high school.

“Kids are referred to use from different foster care agencies around town, and right now, we help them with friends, transportation, clothes, jobs and things like that,” Turner said.

Leigh Ann Tuohy, who is best known for being featured in the movie “The Blind Side,” will be speaking in the event Saturday, Turner said.

“We choose her to speak because what she did for Michael Oher is parallel to what our mission is,” Turner said. “It’s basically being forever family first, helping foster care kids who were never adopted, who need mentors and need transition and guidance through that time in their life.”

She said Tuohy’s story would speak volumes to what the organization is trying to do.

“She does not prepare speeches, she just speaks from the heart and

doesn’t plan anything,” Turner said.

“She just feels it’ll just come from god and it is just something that she will be filled with and share with the people in the audience at that time.”

According to Sandrassong.org, the event will begin at 8 p.m. and tickets will be available on Select-a-Seat.

Kara Eady, co-chair of Sandra’s Song, said she works daily to help bring awareness to children aging out of the foster care system.

“It’s important for people to get involved in order to bring awareness to the issue,” Eady said. “The main problem is people want to adopt babies and children who are in foster

care, but a lot of the time they forgot about the kids who are the older ones and have been in foster care for years.”

With May approaching, children are about to graduate from high school and age out of the foster care system without any other option besides going out on the street or finding alternate living spaces, Eady said.

“Leigh Ann Tuohy is coming in to bring awareness about the foster care system and is just telling people that they are kids who are falling through the cracks of the system,” Eady said, “and we can prevent that if we act now.”

Instant replay working out kinks, better than nothing MLB instant replay system flawed, harmful to game

“

Anna was incorrectly called safe on a play at second base, according to the Wall Street Journal, and fans watching the game at home were shown a camera angle that conclusively showed the umpire’s mistake.

The MLB replay official, however, didn’t have that angle, so the call stood.

After another controversial call in the game the following day, Red Sox manager John Farrell went out to argue with the um pi re s an d was ejected from the game.

Afterwards, Farrell said, “It’s hard to have any faith in the new system.”

The problem with Farrell and other managers and players who are bashing the new replay system is that they don’t see the big picture.

Before the 2014 season, the only plays that could be reviewed were home runs, and even then, the replay had to be initiated by one of the umpires. The fact that manager challenges are even allowed now is a step in the right direction by the MLB, and should be celebrated by baseball fans.

Instances like what happened in the Red Sox game are to be expected when such a drastic change is made to a game that is more than a century old. The system isn’t perfect, and it probably won’t be for at least a couple of seasons, but at least the MLB is trying now.

The Wall Street Journal predicts that at the rate challenges

After 15 long years, Major League Baseball has finally added a challenge system for instant replay.

are being used so far this year, instant replay will be used 462 times throughout the course of the 2014 season, which is great news for baseball fans.

I’m not saying MLB umpires are going to make 462 mistakes throughout the season, but they will make quite a few, and some of them will be pretty egregious.

One example of a previous mistake that could have been helped by the adoption of instant replay happened on June 2, 2010, in a Detroit Tigers game.

Tigers pitch er Arman do Galarraga had 26 of the 27 outs he needed to complete his perfect game when Jim Joyce made the wrong call on a play at first base, according to MLB.com, taking away Galarraga’s chance to write his name in baseball’s history books.

If the Tigers played that same game out today, Tigers manager Jim Leyland would most likely still have his challenge to use, and Galarraga wouldn’t be forever remembered as the man who almost threw a perfect game.

MLB Commissioner Bud Selig has made quite a few mistakes in his time at the head of the MLB, but upgrading from the old replay system to this one is one of the best things he could have done.

“I am very pleased that instant replay will expand to include additional impactful plays,” Selig said, according to an MLB.com article. “The new system will give managers valuable recourse in potentially game-changing situations.

Obviously there are still some things that need to be worked out in the current replay system, but MLB is at least trying to step in the right direction now, and baseball will only get better because of it.

T

he understatement of the year might be that Major League Baseball’s new instant replay system has gotten off to a rocky start. Its rollout has been about as successful as last year’s Obamacare rollout.

The expanded system was introduced this season, in which “about 90 percent of all plays will be subject to review,” according to an MLB.com article. Each team’s manager gets one challenge per game, and if his challenge is successful, he gets one more. Umpires also have the option to initiate a review after the sixth inning.

The actual video review, according to the article, is done at MLB headquarters in New York City by MLB umpires who will supposedly have access to the best technology available, though the effectiveness of the system has already been loudly questioned.

Perhaps the worst incident came in the April 12 game between the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox. Yankees shortstop Dean Anna was called safe on a play at second base, which was challenged by the Red Sox. Television replays clearly showed Anna’s foot briefly leave the bag while the tag was being applied, yet the umpiring crew allowed the call to stand.

Apparently, the camera angle that proved Anna should have been called out was unavailable to the replay crew. For some reason, TV viewers could see it, but the review officials couldn’t. MLB admitted afterward that the call was a mistake.

The following day, a play at first base, which was initially called in favor of the Red Sox, was overturned on review, sending Red Sox manager John Farrell into a tirade.

The play seemingly centered on how deep the ball needed to be in first baseman Mike Napoli’s glove to constitute a completed catch.

At the postgame press conference, Farrell said, “it’s extremely difficult to have any faith in the system, the process that’s being used,” a statement for which he was later fined by MLB, according to a CBS Sports article. Tampa Bay Rays manager Joe Maddon was quoted in an MLB.com article as saying, “the what-ifs are almost limitless … when you open Pandora’s Box, it’s not as cut-and-dried as you think.”

Maddon may be more right than he knows. The “catch/transfer” rule has become a hot topic lately, with MLB’s explanation of the rule only adding to the confusion. The rule concerns whether a catch is completed when a player catches the ball in his glove and then loses control of it while transferring the ball to his throwing hand.

MLB’s explanation, as quoted in a CBS Sports article, states, “Umpires and/or replay officials must consider whether the fielder had secured possession of the ball but dropped it during the act of the catch. An example of a catch that would not count is if a fielder loses possession of the ball during the transfer before the ball was secured by his throwing hand.”

So basically, securing possession of the ball isn’t enough to constitute a catch. If a player subsequently drops the ball when trying to make the transfer to his throwing hand, the catch doesn’t count. Call me crazy, but this makes no sense.

These problems are indicative of the issues associated with instant replay. Every challenged play has to be viewed under a microscope,

“

along with the rule associated with that play.

Look at what’s happened to football. So many memorable and important moments in games are replay reviews where we argue about the angle of someone’s arm or the placement of his toe. It’s getting to the point where it’s hard to watch.

Many have complained for a long time about the length of baseball games, which do seem to be getting longer. Some can last more than four hours, depending on how many runs are scored and how patient the hitters are. Expanded replay will just make the game longer while also disrupting its rhythm.

I would say MLB is going down a slippery slope with replay, but nearly everything is already reviewable. Whether a pitch is a ball or a strike is still not reviewable, but what happens when such a call impacts the outcome of an important game? Will people be calling for replay on those too?

The replay issue is dominating MLB storylines right now, which is taking focus away from the game.

Baseball always seemed to have a sense of purity prior to this season because it was untainted by the drag of instant replay that has, unfortunately, diminished the quality of other sports, especially football.

I understand the desire to get the calls right, but at what cost does that come, especially when the system has proven flawed to begin with? Baseball was not in need of this change, so MLB should recognize its mistake in fixing something that didn’t need to be fixed.

Expanded replay will just make the game longer while also disrupting its rhythm.

“

I

n 1986 the National Football League became the first of the four major American sports associations to use instant replay footage as an officiating aide, according to the NFL’s website, and the modern coach’s challenge rules were adopted in 1999.

After 15 long years, Major League Baseball has finally added a challenge system for instant replay, and although there are still some bugs to be worked through, it is by far better t h an h av i n g nothing at all.

The new system the MLB has added is basically the same as what the NFL has had in place for years n o w. T h e r e are 13 types of plays managers are allowed to challenge during a game, according to MLB.com, including fair/ foul balls, fan interference and tag plays.

Going into Sunday’s games, instant replay had been used 115 times already this season, according to the Wall Street Journal, and two of those were for record-keeping purposes. Of the remaining 113 instances, 46 were overturned, 35 were confirmed and 32 stood, or had no clear evidence to be changed.

While the overarching implementation of instant replay has been successful, there have been some early failures by the system.

The most glaring mistake came in a game between the Boston Red Sox and the New York Yankees on April 12.

‘Late Show’ makes safe choice to replace Letterman, excludes women from spot Iowa State DaIly (Iowa State U.)

Recently, CBS announced that David Letterman would be leaving “The Late Show,” making for the opportunity to usher in a fresh face to the world of late night television.

Sadly, it gave the coveted position to Stephen Colbert. Though hilarious and more than worthy, he will be in the company of other white male hosts who look just like him.

At first, the bitterness derived from the inevitable cancellation of the genius “The Colbert Report” where Colbert has created not only a character but also the wisest-in-hisignorance social critic of our time.

But the disappointment quickly shifted to the network clearly playing the “safe” bet. Hiring a woman or a person of color would have been a risk in its eyes, and obviously it

is not alone — NBC avoided diversification earlier this year with the promotion and hiring of Jimmy Fallon and Seth Meyers.

If you were to take into consideration all networks, cable included, a sole female would rise from the testosterone-filled club: Chelsea Handler. And by the end of 2014, Handler will be leaving her show willingly to pursue something else, leaving the field more homogenous than it is right now.

So what gives? Is there a lack of hysterical, clever, staunch women?

No. The argument that women cannot be funny or are inherently less funny than their counterparts has been deemed utterly absurd across the board. Retta, Tina Fey, Chelsea Handler, Amy Sedaris, Sarah Silverman, Tig Notaro — that is a list of insanely talented woman off the top of my head who I would die to see on

a nightly basis.

Besides the need-no-explanation absorbing presence of their crafts, having a woman host a late night talk show would be a gigantic signal to culture at large that women can be funny and in charge — the moonlight knows no gender. Interesting side note: It is no coincidence that there is a divide between daytime and nighttime talk programming, most notably with Ellen, Katie Couric and the ladies of “The View” leading the charge during the work day.

Across storytelling culture, women are given the short end of the stick — too often being written into repetitive, simplistic best friend-esque roles.

To test the female friendliness of a film or narrative show, the Bechdel Test is applied. The requirements to pass are the following: the film must have at least two named women in the picture, the women must have a conversation with each other at

some point and their conversation must not be about a male character.

Recently, an extensive study was done correlating the Bechdel Test and modern film, and the results were satisfying. Although only about half of the films of the last couple decades were analyzed, the study concluded that the films that passed not only had lower budgets but also generally outperformed their failing counterparts at the box office.

As Cate Blanchett righteously declared in her Oscar acceptance speech this year, “Those in the industry who are foolishly clinging to the idea that female films with women in the center are niche experiences.

They are not. Audiences want to see them. In fact, they earn money.”

So, in terms of character-driven art, women are on the rise to ruling the game — or at least having an equal representation. So when this is the case, it is jarring that female-

driven personality performance, which is essential to stand-up or hosting, appears to be lagging behind.

This was confirmed locally when at Veishea Says I’m Funny, the school’s stand-up comedy competition, only three of the 23 competitors were women. That is too large of a gap to blame on coincidence. Were women directly discouraged to have a go? Not likely. Are women naturally less interested in being funny? No, not naturally.

The lack of female participation does not have a simple explanation, but it was disappointing to see so little gender diversity; however, from my humble perception, the three women stole the show and delivered the most thought-out, thought-provoking jokes of the night.

Many of the male contestants resorted to insolent comments toward women.

the audience ugly — that was his idea of a joke. On the opposite side of objectifying remarks, were truckloads of jokes about breasts, which I guess comes with the territory of being young and straight.

Despite that, the girls took a more creative approach to their sets — one commented extensively about the false expectations of sexting, while another exploited the ignorance of youth and race. From this small sampling, it became apparent that the girls somehow overstepped the typical tropes of comedy that have grown to be less funny with age and have entered territory that is exciting, bold and unique.

I do not want to make any generalizations, but from what I have examined, women are definitely funnier than men. That being said, I will watch Stephen Colbert often while waiting for Sarah Silverman to take Jimmy Kimmel’s gig.

‘Scrubs’ actor Robert Maschio talks Lubbock, show experience

who have embraced my character and the show, and I’d really like to meet them.” I said that once, and they said they could make it happen, and the next thing I know, I’m here.

Q: How was it playing The Todd for so many years?

A: I played a sexually charged, frat boy surgeon who thinks he’s God’s gift to women. People have an expectation of me that I’m the character from the show, so that’s why I just go in and out of character all the time. It was fun, but I played a dumb guy, sort of. I was a skilled doctor because I had nothing going on in my brain.

That’s what made me so good. It

was fun that I was a doctor but I wasn’t obligated to be a really smart one.

Q: Would you be friends with The Todd in real life?

A: I don’t know. He’s a harmless character, like the joke was always at his expense. He never made jokes about others, but he didn’t realize the joke was always on him. He’s a nice guy in that regard because he has no understanding of how other people saw him.

Q: How do you feel about the show’s success, even years after it has ended?

A: It’s amazing. It’s taken on a life of its own. It syndicates on Comedy Central, and now it’s run-

Robert Maschio, an actor and comedian best known for his portrayal of Dr. Todd Quinlan on the show “Scrubs,” appeared in a comedy show hosted by the Texas Tech Health Sciences Center School of Medicine at 8 p.m. Friday.

After the show, Maschio sat down for a Q-and-A session about his thoughts on Lubbock, memories of the show and his life after the “Scrubs” series finale in 2010.

Q: What do you think of Lubbock so far?

A: The people here are so nice and genuine. It’s been a really in-

WA S H I N G T O N ( A P ) — Count Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy among consumers who feel misled by a beverage called “Pomegranate Blueberry Flavored Blend of 5 Juices.”

The drink was the subject of a lively debate Monday as the high court considered whether to allow false advertising claims against the Coca-Cola Co., which markets the beverage under its Minute Maid unit.

Juice maker Pom Wonderful, which sells its own line of pomegranate juice blends, says the label is misleading because 99 percent of its competitor’s juice is either apple or grape.

“Don’t make me feel bad because I thought this was pomegranate juice,” Kennedy told Coke’s lawyer, Kathleen Sullivan, as laughter erupted in the court.

“He sometimes doesn’t read closely enough,” Justice Antonin Scalia chimed in to more laughter.

Sullivan argued that Pom’s lawsuit should not be allowed to go forward because Coke’s label fully complies with the federal Food and Drug Administration’s regulations.

Those regulations were approved in the interest of national uniformity, she said, and preclude competitors from bringing false advertising claims under conflicting federal trademark laws.

But Kennedy was having none of it. He asked whether the national uniformity argument is furthered in allowing “labels that cheat the consumer like this one did.”

“I think it’s relevant to ask whether people are cheated in buying this product,” Kennedy said.

At the same time, Pom separately is battling its own misleading

teresting experience for me to come here and spend a couple of days.

It’s always interesting for me to get outside of my comfort zone and go to different places to see how different people are living different lives.

It’s very interesting for me because all of these people happen to be “Scrubs” fans, which is amazing.

Q: What are your thoughts on “The Todd Monday” HSC students have?

A: I was really charmed and really taken with it when I saw it on Instagram. I had email correspondence with one of the students, and it was just really flattering. I thought, “Wow, this is such a great group of people

advertising case against the federal government. A Federal Trade Commission judge ruled in 2012 that Pom used deceptive advertising when claiming that its pomegranate juice could treat or prevent heart disease, prostate cancer and other illnesses.

Pom has appealed that case, and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit is set to hear arguments May 2.

But at the high court Monday, Pom’s challenge to Coke’s drink label appeared to be winning over the justices. Chief Justice John Roberts said he didn’t see why a label couldn’t comply with FDA regulations but still be challenged as misleading to consumers for different reasons.

Sullivan said it would be a “logistical nightmare” for food

companies to have to change labels in response to every private lawsuit.

She asserted that Congress believed the FDA was in the best position to enforce label requirements.

Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg noted that the FDA is a busy agency and doesn’t have much time to police juice labels. Ginsburg questioned whether Congress intended to preclude private false advertising claims.

“It’s really very hard to conceive that Congess would have done that,” Ginsburg said.

The case is being closely watched by the food and beverage industry, which is concerned that a broad ruling in favor of Pom could open the door to more litigation against food companies and create uncertainty about label requirements.

TAB hosts second annual Tech Traditions Photo Op

By TAYLOR PEACE Staff Writer

Tech Activities Board is hosting its second Tech Traditions Photo Op, at which photographers will be set up around campus Thursday for students to come and take pictures with their friends and family.

John Mark, Associate Director of TAB, said this is a great opportunity for students to come in and be with friends while taking pictures and making memories.

He said they will have pho-

tographers set up around campus and that anybody is allowed to come and join in on the fun.

“The photo op is a perfect way for students to grab their lasting memories here at Tech,” Mark said. “Students will pass by their favorite buildings or not take the time to take pictures, so we are trying to give them that chance this Thursday.”

Mark said any person who is an existing student is allowed to participate in the photo op.

It will be free of charge and students will be able to pick up

their photos the next day in the TAB office located in the Student Union building, Mark said.

“This is our second time doing this and it was a lot of fun last year,” Mark said. “We hope students will take this opportunity up to either take some great pictures, senior pictures or graduating pictures.”

A c c o r d i n g t o t h e TA B website, the event will be hosted from 3-5 p.m. at Memorial Circle.

It is a great opportunity for friends to come explore and

participants can even bring their dogs if they want, according to the website.

Eric Lee, student homecoming coordinator, said students can wear whatever they would like to, whether it be casual or fancy clothes.

Students who are graduating can bring their cap and gown if they want to take graduation pictures as well, Lee said.

“It is open to everyone who wants to be involved,” Lee said. “We have some great photographers so whoever wants

great quality pictures for free is welcome.”

He said there will be photographers in three different locations.

These locations include the field, the Administration building and the class ring, he said.

The photos will be available shortly after being taken.

“Once students take the pictures,” he said, “the photographers will send it back to us and students can pick them up from our office the next day.”

Lee said he is excited to be

putting on the photo op because with students being so busy with school and work, some never really have the time to set up picture dates for graduation.

He said it is the perfect opportunity for students who do not want to pay for a photographer but want great quality photos.

“We are excited to host this photo op again,” Lee said. “It’s awesome to see the students come out with all their friends and capture lasting memories of each other and our school.” ➤➤tpeace@dailytoreador.com

Court to hear dispute over Why is American public so Internet TV broadcasts obsessed with missing plane?

WASHINGTON (AP) — Thirty years after failing to convince the Supreme Court of the threat posed by home video recordings, big media companies are back and now trying to rein in another technological innovation they say threatens their financial well-being.

The battle has moved out of viewers’ living rooms, where Americans once marveled at their ability to pop a cassette into a recorder and capture their favorite programs or the sporting event they wouldn’t be home to see.

Now the entertainment conglomerates that own U.S. television networks are waging a legal fight, culminating in Tuesday’s Supreme Court argument against a startup business that uses Internet-based technology to give subscribers the ability to watch programs anywhere they can take portable devices.

The source of the companies’ worry is Aereo Inc., which takes free television signals from the airwaves and sends them over the Internet to paying subscribers in 11 cities. Aereo, backed by billionaire Barry Diller, has

plans to more than double that total.

Broadcasters including ABC, CBS, Fox, NBC and PBS have sued Aereo for copyright infringement, saying Aereo should pay for redistributing the programming the same way cable and satellite systems do.

The U.S. networks increasingly are reliant on these retransmission fees, estimated at $3.3 billion last year and going up to more than $7 billion by 2018, according to research

by SNL Kagan, which analyzes media and communications trends. They fear that they will lose some of that money if the Supreme Court rules for Aereo.

Aereo’s service starts at $8 a month and is available in New York, Boston, Houston and Atlanta, among others. Subscribers get about two dozen local over-the-air stations, plus the Bloomberg TV financial channel.

In the New York market, Aereo has a data center in Brooklyn with thousands of dime-size antennas. When a subscriber wants to watch a show live or record it, the company temporarily assigns

him an antenna and transmits the program over the Internet to the subscriber’s laptop, tablet, smartphone or other device.

The antenna is only used by one subscriber at a time, and Aereo says that’s much like the situation at home, where a viewer uses a personal antenna to watch over-the-air broadcasts for free.

“Aereo is in some ways novel, but it is also among a host of technologies that uses the Internet to offer consumers the ability to do what they always have more cheaply and conveniently,” the Dish Network and Echostar Technologies said in a supporting legal brief filed in the Supreme Court.

But the broadcasters and their backers argue that Aereo’s competitive advantage lies not in its product, but in avoiding paying for it.

“Aereo is simply a blatant free rider trying to make a quick buck without paying anything toward the true costs of what it misappropriates,” Time Warner Inc. said in a court filing.

PERTH, Australia (AP) — From the disappearances of aviator Amelia Earhart to labor union leader Jimmy Hoffa, there’s just something about a good mystery that Americans find too tantalizing to resist. Perhaps that’s why the saga of missing Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 has continued to rivet the country long after people elsewhere have moved on.

From the beginning, the story has bubbled with enough drama to rival a good Hollywood whodunit. And even though it unfolded on the other side of the world with only three Americans on board, many were sucked in anyway.

“This story has many ingredients of compelling drama, particularly early on: lives at stake, mystery unsolved, a race against time, human emotion,” Tom Rosenstiel, executive director of the American Press Institute, said in an email.

But why did interest remain so high in the U.S. when the story lost steam elsewhere? It dropped from most Australian front pages

and websites weeks ago, despite the search being coordinated off its western coast. CNN International, CNN’s overseas network, tapered its coverage when other big news broke, such as the crisis in Ukraine and the Oscar Pistorius trial in South Africa.

But CNN in the U.S. continued its heavy focus on the plane.

Even in China, where twothirds of the passengers were from, reports never ran nonstop on TV and the clamor on social media also died down.

But Americans yearned for more.

Many found it impossible to believe that a modern Boeing 777 carrying 239 people could just vanish without a trace in an age where an iPhone can be tracked just about anywhere.

Part of the obsession may also revolve around the country’s gottaknow-now mentality and its social media addiction that gets fed 24/7 by the latest breaking news, raw footage or photos going viral on Twitter, Facebook and YouTube.

Since the plane disappeared, it has consistently been one of the top five most-read stories on The Associated Press’ mobile app.

And so Americans tuned in to watch the latest developments. And when there were no new developments, they stayed glued to their smartphones because the suspense of not knowing — or possibly missing something new — somehow spiked when nothing was going on. From oil slicks to pings from dying black boxes, each new lead provided a salacious morsel that drove viewers to wonder: Will this be it?

“I find myself drawn into watching or reading about it because it has taken on seemingly mythic worldwide importance,” Paul Mones, an attorney from Portland, Oregon, wrote in an email. “In this modern world we simply refuse to accept that something so concrete can get so out of our physical reach and understanding. ... People just refuse to concede that the cause of the disaster will likely forever remain unknown.”

Dealer wanted in US for Obamas host annual Easter art fraud nabbed in Spain Egg Roll at White House MADRID (AP) — A Spanish businessman suspected of having dealt in millions of dollars of fake art has been arrested during Easter festivities in southern Spain, officials said Sunday.

Art dealer Jose Carlos Bergantinos Diaz, who is wanted for fraud in the United States, was arrested Friday at a luxury hotel in Seville. The Interior Ministry said he was so surprised by his arrest that he had to be attended by medical workers.

Glafira Rosales, Bergantinos Diaz’s partner, was arraigned in New York in August, accused of peddling counterfeit art for 15 years as undiscovered works

by world-renowned artists such as Jackson Pollock and Willem de Kooning.

The indictment charged Rosales with several offenses, saying she had charged two Manhattan art galleries more than $30 million for 63 pieces of fake art. Each was presented as previously unknown works by 20thcentury abstract expressionist artists, also including Mark Rothko, Robert Motherwell and Franz Kline.

The canvasses had actually been created by a painter working from a studio at his home in Queens. Each bogus piece was exposed to extreme temperatures and the outdoors to artificially age it, authorities said.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama went 1-for-3 shooting basketballs at the White House Easter Egg Roll, an improvement over his 2013 performance, as he and first lady Michelle Obama applied a health and activity theme to the colorful annual springtime South Lawn ritual.

Under sunny skies with mere wisps of clouds overhead Monday, the first lady was flanked by the president and an Easter bunny on the White House’s Truman Balcony as she said the emphasis of the 136th Easter Egg Roll would be healthy eating and staying active.

The event’s theme was “Hop into Healthy, Swing into Shape” and featured live music, yoga and obstacle courses in addition to the egg roll, sports and storytelling.

Obama reprised what has become an annual reading of Maurice Sendak’s children’s book, “Where the Wild Things Are.” With a group of children arrayed before him, Obama mimicked the book’s monsters, gnashing his teeth and growling and challenging the youngsters to a

staring contest.

But if there was a feat he did not want to repeat, it was his 1-for-15 hoops shooting from last year. This time, the president, an avid basketball fan and pick-up game player, missed his first two shots from the foul line of the White House’s outdoor court, and then sank his third.

Wearing khakis and with his sleeves rolled up, the president also hit tennis balls, posed for photographs and joined his wife in encouraging children in an Easter egg roll race.

Mrs. Obama also participated in a healthy snack cooking demonstration with celebrity chef Marc Murphy and cast members of Disney’s “Jessie.” The group prepared fruit salad with honey and kale smoothies.

“I have a smoothie like this almost every day,” she said, adding that she likes to include green apples and ginger in her green drink.

Mrs. Obama did her own storytelling, making an appearance with the family’s dogs, Sunny and Bo, who quickly disappeared for their own walks with National Park Service staffers. The first lady read “My Garden” to the youngsters and asked what non-foods they would grow in their garden. After the children replied “money,” she said, “Wow, this is a very sophisticated crew.”

“You guys have big dreams,” she added. “I love it.”

The White House was expecting 30,000 people to take turns participating in the event on the South Lawn.

Kithuka, Pledger shine at Mt. SAC Relays down, ran smart and relaxed. I just wanted to run under 13:30.”

Kithuka accomplished his goal, reaching the finish line in 13:26.98 minutes with the second-place finisher, Oregon redshirt senior Trevor Dunbar, arriving at 13:32.38.

He may have wanted to simply run under 13:30, but his recorded time demanded much more. At the conclusion of the race, Kithuka replaced a seven-year school record and sat atop the NCAA Division I performance chart.

The school record never provided him the motivation to run well, Kithuka said. He was singularly focused on earning a fast time.

Kithuka recognizes that the time he clocked in is good, he said.

However, he knows he can shed more time.

Tech cross country coach Jon Murray said it is a treat to see Kithuka back.

Staff Writer

Mt. SAC Relays served as a return for Texas Tech track and field in a variety of ways.

Several Tech athletes, such as sophomore hurdler/jumper Le’Tristan Pledger, returned to competition after not participating at the ACU Kittley Invitational.

Senior distance runner Kennedy Kithuka also experienced a return of his own to the 5,000 meters.

Prior to the meet, Kithuka said he wanted to redeem himself from what he considered a lackluster performance the last time he ran in Walnut, Calif. He achieved this redemption with a first place finish in his first 5,000-meter race of the outdoor season.

Texas Tech softball sweeps Kansas

By JEREMY KRAKOSKY

Freshman utility player Cassie McClure recorded five RBIs, three of them on a homerun. Freshman centerfielder Sydni Emanuel went three-for-three at the plate with a stolen base.

On Friday, Tech won its secondstraight series with an extra-inning, 9-7 victory.

Hays said he was proud of the team for never giving up on the game.

“This was an unbelievable win for this team,” Hays said. “We battled back from an out away from losing and never gave up. That’s what we’ve been looking for in this team all year and they’ve played well these past couple weeks. Hopefully we can keep it going tomorrow, but I’m proud of this group tonight.”

The two teams were tied a 4-4 at the end of seven innings. After a

Staff Writer

The Texas Tech softball team completed a sweep of Kansas last weekend in Lawrence, Kan. The three-game series started Thursday when the Red Raiders claimed a 7-5 victory.

Coach Shanon Hays said enjoyed the team’s overall performance in the first game.

“We hit the ball well today and that’s what you want to see to open the series,” he said in a Tech Athletics news release. “I was proud in how we continued to attack throughout the game, and that was key as Kansas was able to score a few runs as well. Hopefully we can continue that the rest of the series.”

scoreless eighth inning, the Red Raiders exploded for five runs in the ninth behind hits from multiple players.

With four stolen bases in the game, Tech broke the single-season school record for stolen bases that was set in 2001. They now have 85 stolen bases on the season.

Emanuel had another multi-hit game, going two-for-four with two stolen bases. She is now one stolen base shy of the Tech season record of 34 stolen bases.

Sophomore utility player Gretchen Aucoin hit her fifth home run of the year.

In the final game of the series Saturday, Aucoin threw a complete game shutout in a 1-0 victory while allowing only three hits and striking out seven batters. It was the first complete game

Ginobili welcomes baby boy during playoff break SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Less than 24 hours after Manu Ginobili helped deliver a Game 1 victory over Dallas in the Western Conference playoffs, he helped deliver something even better.

San Antonio faces Dallas on Wednesday after rallying to win Game 1 of their firstround playoff series 90-85 on Sunday afternoon.

That would mean I have one more race under my belt, so I feel that last week I would have ran maybe 13.08 and this week I would have ran sub-13.”

Despite another school record, Pledger finished ninth overall in a race that featured professional track athletes and fourth among the collegiate hurdlers involved in the race.

These results did not bring any worry, she said. In fact, Pledger’s first race of the outdoor season where she did not finish first provided extra motivation. She said she knows there is so much room to improve when eight competitors are still able to beat her to the finish line.

Pledger and Kithuka will look to sustain and improve as they prepare for a quick turnaround to the Penn Relays, hosted Thursday through Saturday in Philadelphia, Pa.

shutout of Aucoin’s career, according to a Tech Athletics news release.

Hays said he was not surprised by Aucoin’s performance based on how dominant she has been lately.

“Gretchen really had great stuff today,” he said. “She attacked hitters early in the count, and then we played really good defense behind her. This was a good weekend for us and one that I hope carries into next week with Iowa State.”

The Red Raiders are 33-15 overall and 6-6 in the Big 12 Conference. They are now in fourth place in the conference.

Tech’s next series will be a threegame series against Iowa State that begins at 7 p.m. Friday at Rocky Johnson Field in Lubbock.

pleting the race in 13.09 seconds.

Pledger said she is happy to finally have a time that is not influenced by the wind enough to secure the school record. At the Tech Open, she had a time sufficient to reserve her place atop the record books for the event with a 13.08. However, the wind was blowing 2.2 meters a second, so the time could no longer qualify as a school record.

According to Tech Athletics, the school record for the 55-, 60and 100-meter hurdles now belongs to Pledger.

The rest provided little assistance in pursuit of the 100-meter hurdles record, Pledger said.

She attributes the rest to slowing her momentum.

“I actually feel like I struggled in that race,” Pledger said, “but I was not in the best condition to run.

In defiance, 32,000 run Boston Marathon BOSTON (AP) — Some ran to honor the dead and wounded.

Others did it to prove something about their sport, the city or their country. And some were out to prove something to themselves.

With the names of the victims scrawled on their bodies or their race bibs, more than 32,000 people crossed the starting line Monday at the Boston Marathon in a powerful show of defiance a year after the deadly bombing.

“We’re marathon runners.

We know how to endure,” said Dennis Murray, a 62-year-old health care administrator from Atlanta who finished just before the explosions last year and came back to run again. “When they try to take our freedom and our democracy, we come back stronger.”

The two pressure-cooker bombs that went off near the end of the 26.2-mile course last year killed three people and wounded more than 260 in a hellish spectacle of torn limbs, smoke and

broken glass.

The runners this time hit the streets under extraordinary security that included a battery of surveillance cameras, more than 90 bomb-sniffing dogs and officers posted on roofs.

By late afternoon, as runners continued to drag themselves across the finish line more than six hours into the race, state emergency officials reported no security threats, other than some unattended bags.

In what some saw as altogether fitting, Meb Keflezighi, a 38-yearold U.S. citizen who came to this country from Eritrea as a boy, became the first American in 31 years to win the men’s race.

As he was presented with the trophy and laurel wreath, “The Star-Spangled Banner” echoed over Boylston Street, where the explosions rang out a year ago.

“I came as a refugee, and the United States gave me hope,” said Keflezighi, who wrote the

names of the three dead on his bib along with that of the MIT police officer who was killed during the manhunt that paralyzed Boston.

Later in the day Monday, at 2:49 p.m., the time the bombs went off, a moment of silence was observed at the finish line.

It was followed by some of the loudest cheers of the day as people whooped, clapped and rang cowbells.

“Boston Strong” — the unofficial slogan adopted after the terrorist attack — was everywhere as the second-largest field of runners in the 118-year history of the race took part.

Many of them were runners who had to abandon the race last year because of the attack.

“Today, when I got to that point, I said, ‘I have to do some unfinished business,’” said runner Vicki Schmidt, 52, of Nashville.

She added: “You can’t hold us back. You can’t get us down. Boston is magical. This is our place.”

After kicking off the series against Prairie View A&M with a 4-3 win Thursday night, the Texas Tech baseball team went on to sweep the weekend series against the Panthers, extending its winning streak to eight games.

The Red Raiders clinched the series victory over the Panthers in game two of the series, according to a news release from Tech Athletics, shutting them out 8-0.

Freshman pitcher Dylan Dusek made his second weekend start for the Red Raiders on Friday night, and improved to 5-0 on the season, throwing six and two thirds scoreless innings in the game, according to the release.

Dusek said there is not that big of a difference moving from the midweek start to the weekend start, and he just goes out and does his best every time.

“If it’s on the weekend, if it’s in relief, if its starting midweek — any day of the week, I’m just

out there doing my best getting the (win) for the team,” he said.

Tech was lead offensively in the game by junior shortstop Tim Proudfoot and freshman outfielder Stephen Smith, who both had three hits in the game, according to the release.

Senior outfielder Adam Kirsch also contributed to the offensive explosion by hitting his sixth home run of the season.

Getting the series win was good for the team, Proudfoot said, but the players are ready to get back to the Big 12 Conference competition they are used to.

“It’s a lot different playing every weekend and having the games be conference games,” he said. “Just being able to come out here and not let up is the biggest thing, especially to a team that’s not — that we feel to our caliber.”

The Red Raiders won the final game of the series on Saturday, according to the news release, earning back-to-back series sweeps for the first time since 2002.

The win helped Tech match its

longest win streak of the season at eight, and also earn the program’s 1,000th overall win.

Tech coach Tim Tadlock said it was good for his team not have a let-down and win all four games on its Big 12 bye week.

“It’s important to take care of business everywhere we go,” he said. “Every time we’ve come out we’ve tried to improve, get better and respect the game, just play the game the right way.”

The game ended after just seven innings, with a 10-run mercy rule being in place for the series finale. The Red Raiders scored at least one run in each of the first five innings of the game, according to the release, plating 13 runs total in the game.

The Red Raiders had their eight-game winning streak snapped Monday when they lost 4-3 to New Mexico in Albequerque N.M. Tech will play a non-conference game next on Tuesday against Texas Christian in Abilene. ➤➤sports@dailytoreador.com
